MWavelan Driver binary

Hi all,

Has anyone had luck with the MWavelan drivers of Moustafa A. Youssef?
http://www.cs.umd.edu/~moustafa/mwvlan/mwvlan.html

Or even working binary or a package?

The source is a available, but my module compilation skills are novice at best,
So I haven't really grasped fully yet how the pcmcia-cs package and the mwavelan_cs module are compiled together.

I followed the instructions to download the kernel source, which is:

unintimate:~# uname -a
Linux intimate 2.4.16-rmk1 #5 Thu Jan 31 12:06:57 EST 2002 armv4l unknown

There is only a kernel source package for kernel-source-2.4.16 (without the rmk1!) does this matter or is that not relevant for module compilation? (it resides now in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.16)

Then I got the pcmcia-cs.tar.gz package and decompressed it to /usr/src/modules . And then I put the mwavelan package into /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs and untarred it.

But when I do a "make config" it doesn't work. First it complained that it can't find some include files, which are there definitely. It said it had configured properly, but produced no "config.out" file, which apparently is required for the "make all" command
Also it says that "'make all' will compile the PCMCIA utilities but not the drivers."

I am confused. Please help.

Many thanks in advance,
Christian Benesch

It doesn't look like you are using 'lilo'.
It looks like you have a System V init file setup.
./Configure: include/pcmcia/config.h: No such file or directory
./Configure: include/pcmcia/config.h: No such file or directory

X Windows include files found.

Configuration successful.

Your kernel is configured with PCMCIA driver support. Therefore,
'make all' will compile the PCMCIA utilities but not the drivers. <----------- ??? Why ?????
